N8NOFACE at Zebulon: We interviewed synth-punk provocateur N8NOFACE back in 2021, and he told us that, “It’s just crazy that I’m getting thrown into the scene with – there’s the whole Cyberpunk 2077 video game coming out and I was featured on that with a collaboration with the band H09909. Now the whole world started to notice me during COVID because they all had to stop. Earlier, maybe a year and a half, two years ago, the way you would get noticed was to play shows and network in clubs. He’s back in a club now though.
Back in my day genres were really, ‘you’re over there, you’re over there, you’re over there’,” he added. “This new generation, they’re embracing it all. Sonically and even performance wise, you’ll see someone like Tyler, the Creator open for [Sacramento hardcore punk band] Trash Talk. It’s like all these different bands playing on one stage. So I think the sound is everything melted together. Punk – there’s some dope sounds coming out. Some of these kids don’t do their research – they think I invented synth-punk. Man, bands have been doing this since the ‘70s. So I’m glad that I’m bringing it to some kids who want to do punk, don’t know how, don’t have a band, and they can turn some drum machines and some samplers.”
Madeline Goldstein also performs.
